The Company relied on Section 5.5(c) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement on the basis that the transaction is a distribution of securities for cash, and Section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority approval requirement as the fair market value of the transaction is not more than $2,500,000. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days in advance of the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the closing date of the Offering had not been established at that time and the Company wished to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
